5 If you require handles for your rendered output, you can add handles in the
AdvancedSettings of the Video tab. When making any changes to the File render
settings, make sure to leave the “Render Clip with Unique Filename” checkbox turned
on to ensure that each clip rendered has a different file name as multiple clips in the
edited sequence may originate from the same source clip.
6 In the Timeline, click Select Entire Timeline to select the entire Timeline for delivery,
and then click Add to Render Queue at the bottom of the Render Settings to add the
job you’ve set up to the Render Queue.
7 Click Start Render at the bottom of the Render Queue to initiate rendering.
The project renders, and an AAF is automatically exported to the same directory as the media
you’ve rendered.
Step 6–Copy the Graded Media to Avid MediaFiles
1 For workflows where DaVinci Resolve and Media Composer are on separate
workstations, locate the media directory containing the media files that were rendered
out of DaVinci Resolve on the portable hard drive being used to transport the project
back to your Avid workstation, and copy it into the Avid MediaFiles/MXF/ directory.
2 Rename the directory to be a number. Make sure you choose an unused number.
Step 7–Import the Graded AAF
1 Reopen the original project in Media Composer. If the media in the new directory of the
Avid MediaFiles folder is in a compatible format, it will automatically be added to the
internal database of media.
2 Create a new bin to contain the graded sequence you’re about to import.
3 Open the new bin, then choose File > Input > Import Media, select the graded AAF file
that you exported from DaVinci Resolve, and click Open.
4 As long as the media is available in the Avid MediaFiles directory, the new bin
you’ve created should automatically fill up with the clips that were rendered out of
DaVinci Resolve, and a new sequence should appear.
5 Double click the sequence you’ve imported to open it into the Record monitor and
Timeline, fully conformed with the color corrected clips from DaVinci Resolve. This
sequence is now ready for finishing in Media Composer.
